Holly Crap Batman!
I know that a lot of you are having it a lot colder then we are, But 13 degrees is still pretty dam cold. And with the wind chill...It feels like 4 degrees!
The Chickens are out in the sun light trying to get some warmth and when I went to feed them, found the their water container was frozen solid. Normally it has just a coating of ice on it. Not today, froze solid! The Girls gather around the container to get at the warm water I had brought from the house and ignored the bread that I tossed out for them. Hopefully the water will warm them from the inside out!
Something the cold has done... We normally have a large number of Canadian Geese that spend the winter months here. While I was out with the Chickens, I heard a flight of geese over head and looked up to see a flight of SNOW GEESE! Pure white and talking to each other (no doubt about how cold it is!!) They were headed further south.
They should have checked with the Weather Channel. According to them it will be back into the 70's by Saturday! Go figure?
With the Heat Pump still on the fritz, I'm closed up in my bedroom with two space hearers and 3 Dogs! Last night was a 3 Dog night!!
Today is a day for staying in and watching a DVD!!

| The pictures do not show the cold. |

| But the ice that formed from the recent rains |

| And the crunch of the grass under foot does. |

Pile on the dogs! I've got cat-covers at night :)
ReplyDeleteCarolyn,
DeleteAnd people wonder why I have 3 Dogs!? 39 degrees in the house right now (3:45) and it's only going to get colder. Have to work to night and can not leave the space heaters on when I'm not here. Dog will have to cuddle up until I get back.

Tom,
ReplyDeleteStay warm!!! I can't wait until it warms up a little.
Sandy,
DeleteI'm trying! 3 space heaters and the oven on full blast!

The weather is truly crazy so far this year. Nobody at our house wants to venture far from any of the wood stoves. Good days for indoor projects!
ReplyDeleteLeigh,
DeleteI wish I could say it was a good day for indoor projects! But with the heat pump down, It's just a cold inside as out. Hold up in my room with a couple of space heaters!
But that gives me the opportunity to read and write reviews at Amazon! Yep, I got a review written last night on your book and it is up on the web for all to see!
